Chapter 46 Stop, stop now!
The villagers' meeting was about to come to an end, but nothing unusual was noticed inside the venue.
Danzo Shimura had to wonder if Sarutobi Hiruzen had made a wrong judgment and that guy really had not sneaked in.
Shimura Danzo was already upset after working hard for most of the day but to no avail, but something even worse happened.
"Oh no, Master Danzo! The people we captured have escaped!"
"You're useless. You can't even keep an eye on people!"
Danzo really wanted to strangle to death the subordinate who came to report the news to him.
“How many escaped?”
"Two hundred and twenty-three people, all of them have escaped! Lord Danzo, please go and take a look~"
"Why are you panicking? It's just two hundred...how much?!"
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him to take charge of the overall situation of this secret arrest operation,
However, Shimura Danzo was focused on finding the mysterious man who had swindled almost all of his inventory.
Before this, Danzo Shimura had never asked about the arrest of people in the village who had a grudge against Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"How come you arrested so many people?!"
Danzo knew that the person who could be captured by the Anbu and the Root would definitely not be an ordinary person, and he must be a ninja at least.
He originally thought that the Anbu and the Root could capture thirty to fifty at most, but he didn't expect the actual number to be several times more than he expected.
"I don't know. We kept catching people... and before we knew it, we had captured so many people."
The Root ninja who came to find Danzo was also puzzled.
He looked through the list before coming.
A large number of those who were captured actually did not meet their arrest criteria;
But I don't know why I was inexplicably caught here by their people.
For example, one of the records on the list reads as follows:
Name: Nara Takeshi;
Family: Nara clan;
Strength: Chunin;
Age: 20;
Reason for arrest: Picking his nose offstage, suspected of being disrespectful to the Hokage...
?_?...What a fucking reason!
Are these idiots in the Anbu heading towards the Disciplinary Committee?!
Then he took another look at the signature of the arresting officer and found that it was signed - Root.
(ー_ー)!!
The idiot is actually me?!
God knows how devastated the Root Ninja was when he discovered this...
……
"Why did this problem occur? Have you found out the reason?"
"It is said that one of our Root ninjas accidentally killed a prisoner after an altercation with him, which led to their riot."
"Stupid! How could there be such a fool in my roots?! What is his code name?"
"A-3."
Danzo Shimura stopped and turned sharply to look at the Root Ninja behind him.
"I want to ask you, is there a ninja with the code name 'Kazo' in the Root?"
"……No."
Danzo Shimura and the Root Ninja stood there staring at each other and fell into silence.
“…It’s him, it must be him!
That damn guy strikes again!"
Danzo muttered to himself.
"I really didn't expect that he would infiltrate the ANBU and Root teams...but what is his purpose in doing so?"
……
"Charge! Let's fight our way out and let the chieftain take charge for us!"
"I will expose Sarutobi Hiruzen's sinister intentions in front of the entire village."
"You want to use me to deal with our family's head... wishful thinking!"
As soon as he stepped onto the battlefield where the captured personnel were fighting against the ninjas from the Anbu Root, Shimura Danzo heard loud roars.
Listening to the roars that got louder and louder, and looking at the ninjas' recognizable family costumes...
The fragments in Shimura Danzo's mind were pieced together bit by bit, and finally a clear line was formed.
"Could it be...his target is not Hiruzen, but..."
Shimura Danzo's pupils shrank unconsciously, and he finally guessed Naruto's true purpose.
"It's these ninjas and the families behind them... He wants to break up the Hokage lineage and the Konoha family!"
If things really go as he expected...
Danzo Shimura couldn't imagine what kind of turmoil would be in Konoha today.
"Damn it! How dare you disobey the order of the Hokage and openly resist the arrest of the Anbu?!
According to Konoha's regulations, your behavior is considered treason, and our Anbu can kill you on the spot!"
"I belong to the Root, for the sake of Danzo-sama...Kill!"
Seeing that the prisoners who had escaped were still attacking their defenses relentlessly,
The ninjas from the Anbu and Root decided not to show any mercy and started using their respective killing moves.
"Fire Style*Big Flame Bomb!"
"Water Style*Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Earth escape*Earth platform cannon!"
……
"Stop! Stop it now!"
Danzo Shimura, awakened by the drastic change of chakra in the field, changed his expression drastically and hurriedly spoke out to stop it.
But it was too late.
The weakest ninjas from the Anbu and Root are at least the best among the Chunin, and most of them have the fighting power of Jonin;
Among the ninjas they captured, there were Genin, Chunin, and Jonin, their strengths varied, and their cooperation was not as tacit as that of the opponents.
After the Anbu and Root ninjas used their true abilities, a large number of the ninjas they captured were instantly killed or injured.
【Finished...】
When Danzo Shimura saw this, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.
"Inuzuka Mishan! My clan brother!"
"Akimichien! My childhood friend!"
“Aburame… Hey, what’s the name of the one lying on the ground?
Never mind, my brother!"
……
“Everyone, now is not the time to be sad.
We have to find a way out.
To expose Sarutobi Hiruzen's sinister face in front of everyone;
Let's hurry back to our respective clans and let the clan leaders lead us to avenge our dead members!"
"That's right, we're going to fight to the death, everyone!"
As the old saying goes, the army that mourns will win!
Witnessing other ninjas of the same clan or with the same suffering falling in front of them, the remaining clan ninjas burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit and launched even more fierce attacks on the ninjas of the Anbu and Root.
"Stop it, everyone, stop it!"
"I am the Hokage assisting Shimura Danzo. I now order you to stop immediately. This is all a misunderstanding!"
"stop it!"
Danzo Shimura rushed around the battlefields of both sides, trying to stop the fighting.
But the family ninjas were already furious and ignored him.
Since the clan ninjas did not stop, the Anbu and Root ninjas were unable to withdraw from the battle and could only continue fighting.
In the end, even Danzo Shimura, who was caught between the two sides trying to mediate, was dragged into the battle.
"Shimura Danzo!
Today's events were indeed arranged by you and Sarutobi Hiruzen, two old fellows!"
"No, Akimichi Yuichi, please listen to my explanation..."
"Stop talking nonsense and give me your life!
Super* multiplication technique!"
A giant tens of meters tall suddenly appeared on the scene and almost crushed Danzo Shimura into a pool of meat with one slap!
